MINOR
This bill text transitioned from an 'Engrossed' version to an 'Enrolled' version, which is the final version signed into law. The substantive policy content remains unchanged - it still repeals Section 8857.056 of the Special District Local Laws Code and sets an effective date of September 1, 2025. The primary changes are formatting and certification language indicating the bill passed both legislative chambers and was approved by the Governor.
